General Site Tools

General site tools are the everyday equipment used on construction, renovation and maintenance jobs — breakers, drills, compactors, mixers, lighting, vacuums, pressure washers, floor cleaners and access equipment. They're the kit that keeps a site running before and around the bigger plant.

From Hireload you can hire breakers, drills, compactors, mixers, site lighting, wet/dry vacuums, pressure washers, floor cleaners, extension ladders and access equipment — covering most general-build, refurbishment and facilities tasks across London.

Start by describing the job in plain words: the task, the material, the surface, the access and the power supply. From there, pick the matching category above, or call us with the same details and we'll help match the tool to the work.

Yes — delivery is available across London by booking, with scheduled slots. Order ahead where possible; same-day availability can be checked by phone.

Yes. Greenford UB6 collection is available by appointment and is usually the simplest low-cost option for short hires where available.

Use a breaker when you need to remove or demolish material — concrete, tile, hard floor build-ups. Use a drill when you need to make holes for fixings, anchors or installs into masonry. Mixed jobs often need both.

Most groundwork jobs combine a compactor for sub-base, a breaker for removal, and a mixer for finishing — plus lighting if you're working into the evening.

For most small to mid-sized jobs you'll want a petrol or electric site mixer from Mixing & Concrete. Check the volume per batch, the power supply on site, and how you'll clean the drum after use.

For dust and wet/dry pickup on site, use a wet & dry vacuum. For outdoor washdown, use a pressure washer. For interior floors, use a floor cleaner matched to the floor type.

Each product page lists what's included. Bits, bags, nozzles, hoses and consumables are not always part of the standard hire — please confirm exactly what you need before booking so we can match the right kit.

Hire cost depends on the tool, hire length, delivery distance and any accessories. Live prices are shown on each product page. For multi-tool jobs, call us and we'll suggest the most efficient package.

Hire usually wins for project work, occasional use, or when storage and maintenance aren't worth the hassle. Buy makes sense for tools you use weekly, year round. Most builders, FM teams and contractors hire site tools project by project.

Availability can vary by product and date. Hireload's general site tools range can include site power support, transformers, generators and LED work lights where available. Call 020 3375 4048 with your site setup, power requirement and hire dates so we can confirm the right option.
